WAYNET SEMINAR TOPIC: DATABASE TO WEB CONNECTIVITY
Probably the biggest barrier with database to web connectivity is that folks don't know what's even possible. Learn from the pros at Summersault as they expand our horizons. They'll also be prepared to answer questions for those who are "hip deep" in a project already.

Meet WEDNESDAY, APRIL 25 at 12:00 NOON in the Large Conference Room at Richmond Power and Light. You must be a WayNet member, or an employee of a WayNet member, to attend. Please send a short email to jane@waynet.org if you plan to attend.

WHAT DOES YOUR COMMUNITY NET DO FOR YOU? TELL US!!
According to recent research article:

A Community Net can:

1) Overcome barriers, including geographical and digital divide barriers and the reluctance to ask for information;
2) Increase the effectiveness of non-profit organizations and help them become more responsive to the community;
3) Increase people's ability to access relevant information;
4) Mobilize community organizations as information providers
5) Contribute to community building, foster civic engagement, create a sense of community.

We are interested in compiling testimonials from WayNet's users. If you are willing to share a comment about your usage of WayNet's resources, PLEASE REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE. Thank you!
